Hello everyone,
I have a full suspension bike and this march break I replaced the front derailleur, rear derailleur and the brake cables. I have successfully installed the rear derailleur and the brake cables so they seem to work exceptionally well. Now my problem is that my shimano front derailleur wont shift at all, i can shift it manually by pressing at the pivot point and it shift perfectly well except when the rear derailleur is on the highest gear ( top sprocket) and the front derailleur is at the top sprocket, the rear derailleur rubs off against the sprockets, the part that rubs against it is the guide pulleys. When I shift to the lowest gear there is slack but at the highest gear there is absolutely no slack but either way it does not move. I have been adjusting the H and L limit screws in 1/4 turn increments in both counterclockwise and clockwise but they do not make too much of a difference. While on the lowest gear ( front derailleur ) the cable is poking out of the shifter.
*On a side note my previous derailleurs were named FS Falcon. Could this be an incompatibly issue with the frame?
